110th Congress Economic Record – McCain, Obama Sponsored Legislation

If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour? - Thomas Jefferson

Question: We are nearing the end of the 110th Congress. What legacy they will leave on the USA financial and economic systems?

Answer: Literally nothing.

Congress has failed to enact literally any financial or economic legislation since the 109th Congress which was first sat in January 2005. Below is a listing of financial and economic legislation presented to the President for signature as of 09/25/08. This list includes any legislation concerning Congress’ oversight functions on the markets and currency.
